Welcome back to all Middle School students, family and teachers. We hope that you enjoyed your Easter holidays and the chance to spend quality time together as a family.

Over the next few weeks, students in Year 9 and 10 will be summarising their learning over the course of the semester in preparation for semester tests and exams. Teachers have spent time with students reviewing their learning and supporting them to identify areas for targeted revision. In assemblies, students were reminded of the importance of a good diet and sleeping well in preparation for exams and tests

On Wednesday 4th May, the Year 10 Peer Mentors organised a breakfast to begin the schedule of events with the College’s Business and Community Partners. A huge thank you to Mr Adrian McCall, Ms Lynda Vo, Ms Marlene Cassar and the Year 12 VCAL students for their support in organising and facilitating the event.

State Rugby League Team Selection

Congratulations to both Nathanial Sialaoa & Divine Vili, who have both been selected for the 2022 U15 Victoria Schoolboys Train-on Squad. Both have worked hard on and off the field and have been rewarded with being recognised as 2 of the top 28 league players in the State for their age group.

Well done to you both, you should be very proud of yourselves, and we are cheering you on all the way.  – Mr Sam Brown
